I would like to nominate my GTv2 list as it is a good tournament list.

Can we please stick to 7th ed. lists?

I'm sure the old boys from the forum have voted like this on 6th ed.

So please stick to 7th ed lists OR update your lists to be 7th.

I kinda don't like seeing lists that are not doable. Like 6 special choices and magic items that don't exist anymore.

Thanks.

Naggarond, I'm vouching for the 6th ed lists if only because they demonstrate how veteran players have used a subpar list to think outside the box and obtain some amazing results. It's also important for new players to read and determine how the OPers considered the flaws in their army and how they adapted. It's an important example of how critical thinking can shore up any army, regardless of edition or army.

That being said, it would be fun to see if the regulars revamp some of these classic lists and see how they now perform with the new book.

Dyvim, I'd suggest that you consider breaking down the point scales into strategies as well (beast heavy, MSU, shooty, high magic, etc.)

I'm not the moderator of this forum anymore -- it's Dalamar's job now!

Also, this overlaps directly with part of the D.R.A.I.C.H. project. Perhaps the relvant section of the D.R.A.I.C.H. could be pinned at the top of this forum as a replacement for this thread?

yeah my job <.< on first day already into the thick of it, where's my induction day? >.>

Alright, seeing as the Druchii.net's Greatest Lists thread is rather outdated we're not going to continue that, it's locked and it will stay that way.

But keep those nominations coming.
Everything in Dyvim's original post stays, if you want to see the old lists in the new listing, make sure they can be easily translated into 7th edition (they'll remain unchanged in the other thread, I'll mark it apropriately).
Remember to post a link to the list you're nominating. Army Lists forum is vast and ever changing so it'll make it easier to find them ;)

I also vote for keeping it 7th ed. 6th ed lists are almost completely worthless at this point. I appreciate the skill in making these lists, but i'm not going to post my winning Cult of Slaanesh list because it would be meaningless now.

Cult of pleasure maybe, but 6th edition Druchii list can still serve as a basis for an effective 7th edition list.

But I still haven't received even a single nomination. Come on people I'm sure you've seen some great army lists out there.

I think my Manti Lord and Dragon Mage posts could be there. Also DA's new list for the year post and any lists from Kel (martin Turner).

Sorry for my - awfully - late reaction. :oops:


Indeed, Nightblade183 took over a thread about Classic Army lists, which is part of the D.R.A.I.C.H.: D.R.A.I.C.H. Classic Army Lists
He did edit his work in Feb 2010, so I guess the work is not abandoned, although it is still barely started. It seems that Nightblade183 has a very irregular presence in D.net.
Viewed from the initial work, the idea would be to provide examples of themed armies. The added value from "nominated" lists (like in this thread) is the comment, explaining why the army has been built that way.

Like for the rest of the D.R.A.I.C.H., I picked up a few threads in order to have something to propose to readers until the real articles were written. When I don't find something, I make it. For the Army Lists, I selected examples which could inspire players, so that they would be convinced about the incredible variety that Dark Elves offer.
Indeed I picked up a few lists since the coming of the present Army Book (121 to date) :o . I received only once a proposal for an Army List to be DRAICHed. All other were selected by me, and probably many of them don't deserve to remain there forever.

Presently I am trying to slim down the D.R.A.I.C.H..
The D.R.A.I.C.H. could well do without 100 lines of Army lists.
If you think that the collection of lists I made belongs here (considering I nominated them all), I'm more than happy to post it here, and possibly to remove the lists which are not that much interesting (I need someone else's counsel for that).
Alternatively, I could keep the list in the D.R.A.I.C.H. where it is now.

Yeah sorry, I've had alot going on with college and moving. Will be working to have the entire section done by the time I go back to school. But I would like to point out that my section is more of a how to build effective armies of different types section, rather than another hall of fame. For that someone else will have to manage other entries, as I can't keep track of a Hall of Fame while trying to finish my "How to Build" Classical Army Lists section.


EDIT: On that note I'd like to nominate my currently-undefeated, No Magic Twin Hydra Dragon 2k List found here.. http://www.druchii.net/viewtopic.php?t=56420&highlight=

I'll leave here the collection of armies I've noted throughout the first year of 7ed DE army book (and I'll remove them from the D.R.A.I.C.H.).

Here there are.
For most of them, I was just looking for at least one example of each kind of armies. When I've found that example, I may have missed more relevant lists appearing afterwards.
I could shorten that list if anyone told me what list to remove.

I went to a highly competitive tourney, although my Khainite list did well, another druchii player has a list with 4 characters mounted on pegasus; 2 hydra and 2 chariots.
He did extremely well as flying heroes were heavily protected and managed to stick all major opponent units untill devastating charges from our reptilean units. He ended with 4W and 1L.
Definitely, we will need soon an update on this exciting DRAICH!
